Exploring the association of adverse drug reactions with medication adherence and quality of life among hypertensive patients: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective hypertension management requires medication adherence to prevent complications. However, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can undermine adherence and negatively affect patients' quality of life. Limited research has explored the association between ADRs, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with hypertension.

Aim

To investigate the association between ADRs, medication adherence, and HRQoL among patients with hypertension.

Method

A cross-sectional study using telephone interviews and medical record reviews was conducted in 11 primary care facilities in Indonesia. The causality of reported ADRs was assessed using the Naranjo algorithm, validated by a panel of experts in pharmacy practice and medication safety.
